Listening to the anti-gay bigot pigs on C-Span |
|
There's a wonderful woman on C-Span, and ex-military officer and lesbian named Joan Darrah, who is talking about how DADT should be replaced by a non-discriminatory policy, and how DADT negatively affected her life in the military.
The haters are calling in with their usual lies and their usual poison.
I detest them.

2. It never fails to amaze me how much hate some people have toward gays. |
|
It is the last form of bigotry that people can voice without fear of reprisal.

4. People who are putting their ass on the lines for us |
|
Strange that it is okay for spouse abusers, drunks, hot check writers and incompetents are still allowed to serve openly in the military. I had to deal with them almost on a daily basis.

3. the world has changed around them |
|
recent public attitudes have drastically shifted away from the bigotry that these folks still hold dear; I think that makes them even more angry and bilious. The good news is now they have even more people to heat - the large majority of the public that supports overturning DODT and allowing openness for those serving.

5. Interesting Topic Selection |
|
I thought Ms. Darrah did a great job in spelling out where things are at...and then having the retired General who authored the report also calling helped give a better indication of what this report is about and how things need to change and gays should be allowed to serve openly.
What I find interesting is with all the important things going on how C-SPIN picked this topic and why. Let's say I have my suspicions. Now we have a regime sockpuppet (as usual) to spew white noise about energy. Be assured we'll hear about drilling and coal and natural gas...the con job continues. Then I expect an AEI or Heritage Institute aparachnik or some other right wing spinner out there on another topic to divert from real issues and skew things toward a GOOP perspective. C-SPIN at its best.

6. I quit watching "Morons on the March", aka, Wasington Journal. |
|
Most callers are ill-informed bigots, and assholes in general.
